![]() ![]() A bronze plate adorns the inside of the display base. The display base uses a shiny mirror like black surface while the border uses a polished wooden walnut finish, giving it a "highly elegant look". ![]() It is roughly the size of your keyboard (assuming you're using the standard 101 keys keyboard). The glass display measures 420mm x 120mm x 130mm (Width x Depth x Height). Measuring 10 inches (250 mm) from bow to stern, this professionally built kit comes with a custom made glass display. The superstructure has incredible detail, showing the sensors, bolt marks, joint lines and even the sectionalized hull of the submarine - typical of the high quality precision you can expect from Revell. The propeller used is the seven bladed type. The hydroplanes, rudders, periscopes, antennae and masts are adjustable with a full array of optional positions. This kit is a highly detailed precision model with raised surfaces and recessed panel lines. The twin diesel engines delivers 600 horsepower (441 kW) for a top surface speed of 10 knots, while the single Siemens electric motor delivers 1100 kiloWatts of power giving it a top submerged speed of 17 knots.Įighteen units were commissioned, twelve of which are still in service today. The Type 206 is well known for its low acoustic and low magnetic signature, making it very difficult to detect underwater.ĭisplacing around 500 tonnes, it is armed with wire-guided torpedos located in 8 bow tubes. This submarine is one of the smallest and most maneuverable armed submersibles in the world. It first entered service in 1973 with the Federal German Navy and by 1987, it underwent a modernization programme which designated it as the Type 206A class. In response to the Warsaw pact, the Type 206 was developed during the Cold war as a hunter-killer submarine to operate in the shallow depths of the Baltic sea. It is modeled after S-177 of the Bundesmarine. This is a Revell 1/144 scale of the Type 206A. Here the current documentation for the project and its Source Code.U-Boot Type 206 German Diesel Electric Submarine - John Shum The importance of U-Boot in embedded Linux systems is quite succinctly stated in the book Building Embedded Linux Systems, by Karim Yaghmour, whose text about U-Boot begins, “Though there are quite a few other bootloaders, ‘Das U-Boot’, the universal bootloader, is arguably the richest, most flexible, and most actively developed open source bootloader available.” It can be built on an x86 PC for any of its intended architectures using a cross development GNU toolchain. It is free software released under the terms of the GNU General Public License. The current name Das U-Boot adds a German definite article, to create a bilingual pun on the classic 1981 German submarine film Das Boot, which takes place on a World War II German U-boat. The May 2004 release of U-Boot-1.1.2 worked on the products of 216 board manufacturers across the various architectures. Additional architecture capabilities were added in the following months: MIPS32 in March 2003, MIPS64 in April, Nios II in October, ColdFire in December, and MicroBlaze in April 2004. PPCBoot−2.0.0 became U−Boot−0.1.0 in November 2002, expanded to work on the x86 processor architecture. This marked the last release under the PPCBoot name, as it was renamed to reflect its ability to work on other architectures besides the PPC ISA. In 2002 a previous version of the source code was briefly forked into a product called ARMBoot, but was merged back into the PPCBoot project shortly thereafter. Version 0.4.1 of PPCBoot was first publicly released July 19, 2000. ![]() Wolfgang Denk moved the project to and renamed it to PPCBoot, because SF.net did not allow project names starting with digits. The project started as an MPC 8xx PowerPC bootloader. It is available for a large number of different computer architectures, including 68k, ARM, Blackfin, MicroBlaze, MIPS, Nios, SuperH, PPC, RISC-V and x86. U-Boot (subtitled “the Universal Boot Loader” and often shortened to U-Boot), started by Wolfgang Denx more than 20 years ago,has become a de-facto standard for Embedded Linux Device and not only. You cannot have a running device with Embedded Linux without a bootloader that initializes the hardware and load and start the OS. ![]()
